Peter: Well as the author of the "Chopped Seguin" I can vouch that Rob Briant was payed his 100 $ for the plans. I have only bult one "Seguin" I built the boat 5 yrs ago only 2 weeks ago I attacked it w/ the skillsaw. http://community.webshots.com/user/qajaliorqti the hull is a per-plans built Seguin only cut and lowered for a tighter more traditional fit. The yellow Chupacabras (see album) was built using a kit that I cut originally to the Seguin design, but after playing w/ the Carlson Design Hulls program I totally re-cut and really retains little of the original. michael *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
